Brief Answer:
Slight increase of lipids

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

There is slight increase of lipids in blood and this requires no medication,you should just eat less fats. There is also slightly increased leukocyte and neutrophils and this suggest small infection in your body which may be respiratory,urinary or any other. Everything else is normal. Considering your symptoms this may be gallbladder issue, such as gallbladder stones or inflammation. You need to do ultrasound of liver and gallbladder to rule this out.

Wish you good health. Regards

thanks for the reply. In the 2nd page of the results I see that there is a test for liver function and this seems to be ok. Would this rule out the liver and mostly indicates that the problem could be in the gallbladder?

would it be advice to go to see other doctor to treat it immediately instead of waiting for my doctor to come back next week?

Brief Answer:
Hi, Welcome back,

Detailed Answer:
Yes, liver enzymes are fine and this practically rules out liver disease, but gallbladder stones may be present.

I don't think this is urgent, unless fever, progressive pain or jaundice occur. So you can wait for your doctor.

Wish you good health.
